At a loss for clichés? Thanks to Cliché Finder, the nightmare is over. Here is a list of things people often say about dogs. Some are better known than others.

you can't teach an old dog new tricks

sick as a dog

it's raining cats and dogs

putting on the dog

man bites dog

let sleeping dogs lie

let loose the dogs of war

in the doghouse

hair of the dog that bit you

it's a dog's life

a dog in the manger

if you lie down with dogs, you rise up with fleas

I wouldn't send a dog out on a night like this

small as a dog

as crooked as a dogs hind leg

dog earred

a dog and pony show

It's raining cats and dogs

every dog has his day

He was on that like a pack of dogs on a three-legged cat.

panting like a dog in august

hungry like a big dog (southern)

If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch.

a dog day afternoon

dog gone it

getting dogged

It's like talking a dog off of a meat wagon

let sleeping dogs lie

my dogs are barking (meaning: "my feet hurt")

He's anybody's dog that will hunt with him.

Thick as the hair on a dogs back

The sun don't shine on the same dog's behind everyday

A few fleas are good for the dog

she would make a bull dog chew his chain

you could talk a dog off a meat wagon

let a sleeping dog lie

it's a dog eat dog world

every dog has its day

work like a dog

That dog won't hunt

tail wagging the dog

Sweet Sally left us last Friday and a sweeter dog never walked the earth. She lived on a farm outside Iowa City with two kind people and two beautiful horses, and had fields to roam in summertime and a big front porch for watching the world between naps.

I visited there a while ago and remember how she loved belly rubs while rolling in the grass. Sally was made for hugging, and she loved being told that she was a good dog. Which she was. She will be missed by many, none more than Sheri and Dick. Goodbye sweet girl.

These three lucky dogs had a fine afternoon of swimming and chasing and jumping and flopping after The Stick. This beach is on Lake Superior just north of Marquette and it is pristine, clean, beautiful and empty. Don't tell anyone.
